The DACs produce an output voltage that ranges between either one or two times the reference voltages and GND, and the DACs are monotonic. The device is simple to use, running from a single supply of 5 V. A power-on reset function is incorporated to ensure repeatable start-up conditions. Digital control of the TLC5620C and TLC5620I are over a simple 3-wire serial bus that is CMOS compatible and easily interfaced to all popular microprocessor and microcontroller devices. The -bit command word comprises bits of data, 2 DAC select bits and a range bit, the latter allowing selection between the times or times 2 output range. The DAC registers are double buffered, allowing a complete set of new values to be written to the device, then all DAC outputs are updated simultaneously through control of the LDAC terminal. The digital inputs feature Schmitt triggers for high noise immunity. The 4-terminal small-outline (D) package allows digital control of analog functions in space-critical applications. The TLC5620C is characterized for operation from 0 C to 70 C. The TLC5620I is characterized for operation from 40 C to 5 C. The TLC5620C and TLC5620I do not require external trimming.

The core of each DAC is a single resistor with 256 taps, corresponding to the 256 possible codes listed in Table 2. One end of each resistor string is connected to the GND terminal and the other end is fed from the output of the reference input buffer. Monotonicity is maintained by use of the resistor strings. Linearity depends upon the matching of the resistor elements and upon the performance of the output buffer. Because the inputs are buffered, the DACs always present a high-impedance load to the reference source. 2
detailed description (continued) Each DAC output is buffered by a configurable-gain output amplifier, which can be programmed to times or times 2 gain. On powerup, the DACs are reset to CODE 0. Each output voltage is given by: V O (DACA B C D) REF CODE 256 ( RNG bit value) where CODE is in the range 0 to 255 and the range (RNG) bit is 0 or within the serial control word. data interface With high, data is clocked into the DATA terminal on each falling edge of CLK. Once all data bits have been clocked in, is pulsed low to transfer the data from the serial input register to the selected DAC as shown in Figure. When LDAC is low, the selected DAC output voltage is updated and goes low. When LDAC is high during serial programming, the new value is stored within the device and can be transferred to the DAC output at a later time by pulsing LDAC low as shown in Figure 2. Data is entered most significant bit (MSB) first. Data transfers using two -clock cycle periods are shown in Figures 3 and 4.

linearity, offset, and gain error using single end supplies When an amplifier is operated from a single supply, the voltage offset can still be either positive or negative. With a positive offset, the output voltage changes on the first code change. With a negative offset the output voltage may not change with the first code depending on the magnitude of the offset voltage. The output amplifier, with a negative voltage offset, attempts to drive the output to a negative voltage. However, because the most negative supply rail is ground, the output cannot drive to a negative voltage. So when the output offset voltage is negative, the output voltage remains at 0 V until the input code value produces a sufficient output voltage to overcome the inherent negative offset voltage, resulting in the transfer function shown in Figure 5. Output Voltage 0 V Negative Offset DAC Code Figure 5. Effect of Negative Offset (Single Supply) This negative offset error, not the linearity error, produces the breakpoint. The transfer function would have followed the dotted line if the output buffer could drive to a negative voltage. For a DAC, linearity is measured between the zero-input code (all inputs are 0) and the full-scale code (all inputs are ) after offset and full scale are adjusted out or accounted for in some way. However, single supply operation does not allow for adjustment when the offset is negative due to the breakpoint in the transfer function. So the linearity in the unipolar mode is measured between full-scale code and the lowest code which produces a positive output voltage. The code is calculated from the maximum specification for the negative offset. 6

Integral nonlinearity (INL) is the maximum deviation of the output from the line between zero and full scale (excluding the effects of zero code and full-scale errors). 2. Differential nonlinearity (DNL) is the difference between the measured and ideal LSB amplitude change of any two adjacent codes. Monotonic means the output voltage changes in the same direction (or remains constant) as a change in the digital input code. 3. Zero-scale error is the deviation from zero voltage output when the digital input code is zero. 4. Zero-scale-error temperature coefficient is given by: ZSETC = [ZSE(Tmax) ZSE(Tmin)]/Vref 06/(Tmax Tmin). 5. Full-scale error is the deviation from the ideal full-scale output (Vref LSB) with an output load of 0 kω. 6. Full-scale-temperature coefficient is given by: FSETC = [FSE(Tmax) FSE (Tmin)]/Vref 06/(Tmax Tmin). 7. Zero-scale-error rejection ratio (ZSE RR) is measured by varying the VDD from 4.5 V to 5.5 V dc and measuring the proportion of this signal imposed on the zero-code output voltage..

Channel-to-channel isolation is measured by setting the input code of one DAC to FF hex and the code of all other DACs to 00 hex with Vref input = V dc Vpp at 0 khz. 2. Reference bandwidth is the 3 db bandwidth with an input at Vref =.25 V dc 2 Vpp, with a full-scale digital-input code.
